LAKE FOREST, Calif.,
June 21, 2018
/PRNewswire/ -- The Kwikset® brand of Spectrum
Brands, Inc. – Hardware & Home Improvement Division (HHI), now
offers one-key convenience through SmartKey Security™ technology in
select Kobalt Tools 3000 Series tool chests, available at Lowe's.
This unique feature will allow homeowners and trade professionals
alike the convenience of one-key access for their home or
workshop.
SmartKey Security is a patented feature that enables homeowners
and trade professionals to quickly and easily re-key their locks so
all can be accessed using the same key. Previously just available
in door hardware, SmartKey Security was designed to make security
simple, while also including advanced features to protect
homeowners from common break-in methods such as lock bumping and
picking.
Kobalt Tools, known for its functional and durable tool chests
for work at home and on the job, offers an assortment of
organizational solutions to its customers. With the new 3000 Series
tool chests available with SmartKey Security, the ability to mix
and match different sizes to build a custom work station that is
accessible with a single key is now possible.
With this industry-first partnership, Kobalt Tools and Kwikset
bring a streamlined, secure solution to the tool storage
category.
"Our partnership with Kobalt is an exciting venture as
we are solving a palpable need across multiple service industries –
one-key convenience between tool chest compartments – while also
adding value for homeowners with Kwikset door hardware." says
Marty Hoffmann, Kwikset Vice
President of Marketing, Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware and Home
Improvement Division. "By incorporating SmartKey Security
into Kobalt tool chests, Kwikset can help keep the
tools that consumers have invested in safe and secure,
